Who's Really Responsible In Online Banking Fraud?
TheRealStyro writes "According to this article a Miami businessman is suing a bank because of a fraudulent fund transfer possibly caused by the coreflood virus/trojan. He claims the bank is responsible because the bank failed to protect him from known online banking risks. It is obvious that this guy should have had an anti-virus package active, but shouldn't the bank have questioned such a large transfer to a republic of the former Soviet Union (these republics having gained the unfortunate notoriety of being dens of villainy and hackerdom)?"
to YOU! The fact that when you deposit a check in your account and the bank won't credit it immediately. You know what I'm talking about....when a bank will wait for five business days to credit your account even thought they got the money in about .75 seconds.
This is especially true now that Check 21 is in place.
Typical American.
Screw up, blame someone else for your screw up, then sue that person instead of taking any responsibility for your own dumbass move.
George Bush + Linux = "I will not let information get in the way of the fight against Windows"
Get off your high horse about their damn OS. Rather than bitch about the rest of the world being too stupid to breathe your air, go put some effort into making Linux easy enough for my mom to use, so she wouldn't have to worry about it. Quit fucking bitching that people are too stupid to be safe, but while they're at it, they should switch to an incredibly end-user-unfriendly OS to be safe.
